North American movie theaters were flooded with new movies this weekend, including a video game reboot, a big-budget survival thriller and a Jane Austen adaptation.
While Paramount’s “Street Fighter” took first place, earning $31 million from 3,575 theaters according to studio estimates on Sunday, most of the attention and cultural conversation was elsewhere: On the almost three-hour Elizabeth Holmes documentary, “You Can See Everything.”
Buzz and box office don’t always add up, but “You Can See Everything” made an impressive $15 million from just 855 screens, with more than 2,000 sold-out performances over the weekend, according to A24. It also had the biggest opening for a film playing on fewer than 1,000 screens since “Borat” opened to $26.5 million in 2006, and the biggest non-musical documentary in two decades, since “Fahrenheit 9/11” made nearly $24 million from 868 theaters. These numbers do not account for inflation.
Like other hits this year, such as “Backrooms” and “Obsession,” driven by Gen-Z, ticket sales for “You Can See Everything” were driven by a largely younger audience. Over 70% of the opening weekend crowd was under 35.
The film, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, was made in secret over three years. Fielder spent more than a month with the disgraced Theranos founder and her family, including two young children and her partner Billy Evans, in her final days before going to federal prison. The reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, with 99% on Rotten Tomatoes and 99 on Metacritic. It also received an unprecedented 91% “definite approval” from audiences, according to PostTrak exit polls.
“You Can See Everything” reportedly cost less than $7 million to make and less than $10 million to market.
“Not everyone underestimated the movie, because on paper this looks like, wait, a three-hour documentary?” said Paul Dergarabedian, head of market trends for Rentrak. “But he (Fielder) is a huge draw, and he has a huge following on social media, and then Elizabeth Holmes is just a character that you couldn’t even make up. It’s stranger than fiction, and that’s very compelling.”
“Street Fighter” topped the charts as expected with a $51 million worldwide opening, including $20 million from international screenings. The film starring Callina Liang, Noah Centineo and Andrew Koji cost $82 million to make, not counting marketing and promotion. The audience was 69% male.
Both “Street Fighter” and “You Can See Everything” may have contributed to the relative failure of “Whalefall” this weekend. The $60 million survival thriller starring Austin Abrams and Josh Brolin made $8 million from 3,065 locations in the US and Canada, despite a better review than “Street Fighter.” With $9.5 million from international screenings, the Disney release had a global release of $17.5 million.
“Whalefall” opened in fourth place, behind Jessica Chastain’s horror “Another Mama.” The Universal Pictures release added $8.4 million in its second weekend, bringing its domestic total to $44.9 million.
Fifth place went to “Sense and Sensibility,” which earned about $7.3 million from 2,545 theaters. The well-researched Austen adaptation by Daisy Edgar-Jones attracted a predominantly younger (58% between the ages of 14 and 18) and female (84%) crowd. It also received the strongest CinemaScore of the week (A-).
Warner Bros. released Clockwork also remastered Ken Russell’s 1971 film “The Devils” in 350 locations, where it grossed $1.6 million. This is the first release from the studio’s exclusive label.
Alex Gibney’s Elon Musk documentary “Musk” expanded to 472 screens in the US and Canada, where it made $306,702. The film, which lasts nearly four hours, has faced advertising problems on major social media platforms including X, which Musk owns, and TikTok, according to distributor Bleecker Street, which said this weekend that TikTok permanently suspended the film’s advertising account.
According to Rentrak, the weekend as a whole generated an estimated $101.6 million in ticket sales, up 45% from the same weekend last year. The year to date is at $8.2 billion, which is up nearly 20% from 2025.
